Specification of Letters Yatent.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that l, PAUL Reiss. a citizen of the German Empire, residing at Berlin, Germany, have invented certain new a ud useful Iniliirovenients in or Relating to Print iiigl\'1achines, ot' which the following is a specification. l

he present invention relates to machines capable of producing print similar to type written matter and it has the characteristic that individual lines of type are automatically and periodically fed to the forinthereby enabling circulars or like matter with uniform type in the text but with different type for the headings or other parts to he `easily, printed. .ln this manner it is'possible to produce a large quantity of printed mattei' with different ornis. but iii the same nia chine and by means of the same ribbon. so that it presents the aspect of ay print produced as a whole and by means of typewritingj machines. The lines of type which are periodically fed to the yforni are by preference arranged in individual type frames which are piled up in a container rigidly connected with the machine frame and for each printing operation are automatically delivered one by one to a, fee/d mechanism which conveys them to the printing point.. At the printing point the type frames are raised 'from the convever by a special lifting device and moved into printing position iii which the)Y remain until the printing rollers have passed theui :ii'ter which they are automatically returned to the conveyer and advanced in order to make rooin Vfor the next 'l'ollovv'ing` traine. ."it the return point of the conveyer the type carrier frames drop olf this conveyer.

A machine according to this invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a side view and partial section of the machine. Fig. 2 is a top plan view with the hood and sonic other parts removed. and Fig. il is a iront view of the machine. Fig. 4 is a section on the line lf-i of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a section on the line .fi-5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a view ol the type frame container. Fig. 'i' is a section on the line 7-7 of Fig. G. Fig. 8 is a plan view of one of the type frames. Fig. 9 is a sec" tion on the line 9-9 of Fig. and Fig. 1G is a section on the line 10---10 of Fig.

The printing table 2 is mounted on a frame 1 and comprises an impression roller 3 arranged within a. hood 4. The shaft ends 5 of the impression roller are journaicd in glands 3 which are subiect to the action of adjustable pressure screws 7. The printing table 2 is adapted to receive a suitable type forni itl() (Fig. 5), which contains the type from which the body ol1 the letter or circular is printed. This type form prefer ably serured in a recess on the upper side of the table 2 in any suitable manner. At the face ends of the hood 4 are stop pins 8 which in the end positions of the roller engage with arins 9 carrying paw/ls 10. These pawls cooperate with ratchet wheels ll rigidly mounted on the shaft 1Q carrying the ribbon 101 which is arranged between the printing surface of the type Jr'orrn and the irnpression roller (Fig. The hood 4 is provided with lateral extensions 13 running in grooves il and thereby insuring the correct movement et' the impression roller. The latter is provided with lateral collar-s 15 running on elastic or spring actuated rails 16. Si'irocket. wheels 17 and 18 are each arranged at one end of the machine the wheel 18 bein jouriialed in a bearing :'20 and the wheel 1 being adiiistably journaled in a bearing 21. Running over these sprocket wheels a chain 19.

ln the bottoni part of the printing table 2 is :in opening 22 (Fig. 1) across which the tvpe frames periodically carried along by the chain 111 are moved to the printing p`0si tion. Mounted beneath the table 2 (Fi 1) are brackets 23 adapted to so guide a ook 21 hereinafter referred to as plunger block as to enable it to move up and down in vertical direction. This block 24 carries a broad plate 2.3 resting in a recess 26 in the bracket 2i This block moreover is provided laterally with two rollers 27 and centrally with a smaller roller 28 (Fig. 4). the purpose of which will hereinafter more clearly appear.

Rigidly secured to the hood 1 is a slide Q9 guided on rails 3G in the traine 1 (Fig. 5). This slide is provided with lateral guide portions 3l and with a central. guide portion 3;). all limited in the plane of the rollers 2T and 25. All these guide faces moreover are arranged at the front and rear ends of the slide. The two oblique faces 31 arc connected by a. central liorizoiital portion ifl.

"lille connection of the hood "l with the slide 2 is effected by coupling pins 1li. en

The iziacliine which is illustrated in the arc-oni;ianving drawings is continuallyY driven in one ihrection from an appropriate rlcetric or other motor (not shown) h v int-.ana ot a stcppulley This pulley is last on a shaft l) which carries at its other end a worm U n'ieshinn with a Worin wheel .7l (rigs, i and i). This wheel rotates' in a housing 5L and is rigidly conM nuit-d with a hevel wheel 523, which is in constant engagement with two cog-wheels 35. and liti ar ing'cd on a shaft The two cog-\\'h-fels are provided on their front faces with coupling tciah 5i' adapted to engage with teeth .3S on a coupling` sleeve 59. The ipling sleeve is not. rotatable on the .itt nl hat teyed thereon so as to he rapa'lvhoi amai displacement.

Yl and 5). i

The forward feed movement of the chain lll is ellictcd by a ratchet wheel 71 which is tast on the shaft T2 of the sprocket wheel tra. iirranged loosely on this shaft is a disk Til carrvingr a pawl il which engages with the teeth on the ratchet wheel Tl. Pivoted on the disk Til are two controlling rods 75 and 7f3 hichextend through a lateral rib 77 on the sliile :29 (Figs. l and 5). These rods are provided with abutments 78 and 79 vvliirh during the movement of the roller 3 engage with the rib 77 of the slide 29 and thereby ellect an advance movement of the feeding member. The abutinents 78 and 79 are so adjusted as to cause the sprocket wheels 1T and lb' to be rotated from the i'ommouvement of the feeding movement to the extreme end position of the impression roller through an angle corres uondin to the length of one ol the links o the ciain 19 whereby a fresh printing frame is fed each time precisely over the lifting plate 25. The rod 75 is under the influence of a bilder spring S0 wound around the rear end of the rod and tending to draw the rod hack to its initial position when the ahutrnents on the rods T5 and 76 are released.

The printing frames 81 which are fed to ihe plunger block 2l hy the chain 19 are engaging gland 37 arr: need in a trame work or container 82v resting on the support 2l. As shown in liga. ll, i'. 8, 9 and 10 each frame consists of a metal plate provided with slots 83 confined h v vertical guide ribs Si. t each end of the slots is a socket S5. Inserted through. thiy e sockets are the type carrier pins'y of which one end 9T is lient over and hears against a lug 8S whereby the, types are prevented from droppingr out. The types Slt as used lrv preference for printing uiaciincs of this hind are provided with central openings enaliling them to be threided on to the pins F46 side by side. Laterailv the typesL are guided hy the ribs Hl. Owing to this arrangement the types have a certain resiliency in their frames wherelrv a particularly good printing efiect is olitained. The types thus arranged in the trames are disassembled after use so that new sets can immediately lie set up for fi csh printing matter. Thus in many establishments it will he only necessary to obtain a uu chine nitliout type frames which latter can he easil) obtained for instance on hire from any of the known advertisinlgr agencies here the neeessarv addresses are set up ready for printing so that they can be dirrrtlv inserted in the container 82 without farther trouhle and after use can he returned. i

The release of the type frames arranged in the container SQ takes place durinr the ,Si on the conveying chain advance of the chain 19 by means of pins on the sprocket wheel 17 which pins enable always the lowermost frame to be released from the container 82. To this end the column of frames is confined in its lower part by rotatable pins 91 having a portion located between the walls of the container 82 and provided with a recess 92 with which engage lateral lugs 93 on the frames 81. Rigidly secured to the pin 91 is a crank arm 94 carrying a roller 95 capable of engaving with the pins 90. YUpon the rotation ofD the sprocket wheel 17 the arm 9i: is so rocked by the pins 90 as to cause the lugs 93 to move out of the recess 92 thereby releasing the lowermost type frame which is free to drop on to the chain 15). DuringF this action the unrecessed upper portion o the pin 91 is turned toward the underside of the next following type frame so that only the lowermost .t ame is always able to drop on to the conveying chain. Upon the roller 95 being released b v the pin 90 the arm 94T rocks back under its own weight whereby the frame column is freed and under the inluence of its weight descends so that again the lowermost type frame is caused to engage with the reresses 92. ln order to contine with precision the position of the frames 19 the individual chain links arc provided with recesses 9G whose width corresponds to that ot the lugs U3 whereby a displacement of the type frames during their passage through the machine is rendered impossible. The lower portion of the ronveyer chain ll) travels over a guide roller 97 (Fig. l) whereas the upper part is guided over inclined faces 98 forming part of the guide brackets ifi.

The operation oi` the machine is :is i'ollowszM-By rocking the lever (35 with the aid of the handle (3G one face of the coupling sleeve 5l) is thrown into engagement with the. teeth 57 of the Cog wheel 55 or 5t). The shaft 5l together with the sprocket wheels il() is thus caused to rotate whereby the hood l is carried across the printing table. \Vith the hood i moves the slide 2t) connected thereto by the pins 3l, 35 and prevented from tilting by the guide ways llt). During nils movement the oblique faces 3l come into engagement with the rollers 27 on the plunger block 2i whereby the latter is raised from the recess 26 and consequently lifts the typo 'frame located at that moment immediately above on the Cmivryer chain lil into the path ot' the impression roller. rl`he horirfzontal guide portion 35i on the slide Q9, inx sures that the upward movement of the block 2l reaches its end before the impression roller is in engagement with the type franus f-l. ln thisl raised position the bha-li romains until the impression roller has passed over it after whichrit slides in con sequence of its weight along the rear guidi face 3l back to its low est position. Should for any canse the plunger block be jammed in its raised position the central roller 28 during the continued movement of the slide J9 is caused to engage with the inner guide face 3Q on the latter thereby positively in ducing the block to return to its initial position. Toward the end of the movement of the hood 4 the pin 70 on the gland 37 is caused to engage the lever G5 whereby the lever is so rocked as to cause Ythe release of the coupling sleeve 59 and to stop the movement of the impression roller. Consequentlyy the printed sheet can be removed and a fresh sheet put in its place during which time the driving motor of the machine need not be stopped. Shortly after the completion of the printing operation the rib v77`on the slide 29 has come into engagement with the abutment 7S or 79 onthe rod 75 or 76. This causes a` rotation to the lett of the disk 73 and by means of the pawl 74 a partial rotation o" the sprocket wheel 1S to an extent which corresponds to the'length of a chain link. A new type frame is thus conveyed over the plate Z5 on the block '24 while the type frame preceding it is moved away from the printing position and during the continued motion oi" the ('hain and upon reaching the sprorhet wheel .i8 is Caused to drop from the conveyor. During the return movement of the impression roller and after the releasel ot' the abutments 78 or 79 from the rib 77 the controlling rods 75 and 76 are thrown back to their initial position bythe action of the spring 80. In any second end position of the hood t-that is to say. at the end of any forward or backward stroke of the impression roller-apart from the movement of the conveyor Chain the ribbon action is also controlled will be seen one of the stop pins 8 on the hood 4 is caused to engage with the rorking arm 9 at the end of the roller movement whereby the arm S) is rorln rl .nd artnates its pawl l0. The arms n a@ under the influence of springs, b v which they are. after having;r been rorked` brought bark into their normal position. The extent of the throw of the arms l) depends on the adjustment of the pins S with regard to the hood. Unc oi' the pawls l0 is always out of engagement with its ratchet wheel 1l so that the ribbon action can only take place in one direction` after any second stroke of the impression roller. As soon as the printed sheet is removed from the machine and the new sheet put in its place the reversing r thrown into action by means of the handle G6 in the opposite direction thereby bringing about thel return movement L. the impression roller. During this movemfnt the printing Vframe Sl again raised by the cooperation of the plunger meek 24; with the guide faces 3l and a with one of the lugs 69 on feed movement takes place at the end of the roller movement. Upon the beginning of the. feed movement the pins on the sprocket wheel 17 pass along beneath the roller on the lever 94 whereby the latter is rocked to such an extent that the lugs 93 are caused to move out of the recess 92 and the type frame is free to drop on to the corresponding link of the conveyer chain 19. By the rocking of the pin 91 its solid portion is dravvn against theunderside of the next following type frame so that only one type frame is freed. After the passage of the pin 90 the arm 94 automatically returns to its vertical position thereby enabling the frame column to descend an `I the lowermost frame thereof to he engaged in the recess U2.

In the event of a failure of the driving motor the printing can be effected by hand. To this end the hood 4 is arched upwardl)v in order to offer an appropriate grasp and if desired it mayY be provided with a fixed handle.

If it is desired to dispense with the automatic feed movement of the type frames in the event of the printed matter requiring no special headings or the like the slide 29 is uncoupled from the hood 4. To this end the pins 34 and 35 are Withdrawn by meansy of the roughened heads 47 from the lugs 36 so that the projections 45 are moved out of their respective notches 46. The respee tive. pins are then slightly rotated in order to prevent the pins from springing back. The slide 29 then remains at a standstill While the machine is continued to 'he used in the manner above described. leben the automatic feed movement of the type frames is again required all that is needed is to again couple the slide 29 with the hood 4. In producing prints wherein the type arranged in a type frame is to he used ronstantly or repeatedly at several places. the. hood 4 together with the slide 529 is moved until the plunger block T24 is in its raised position. ln this position the handle iitv is operated to move the reversingr gear into the idle running position and the slide is uncoupled from the hood in the manne] above stated. It therefore remains in its position beneath the plunger block and the latter itself is held in its raised position and the type frame is in position for printing. Durng the reciprocation of the impression roller therefore no feed movement of the type frames takes place since the rib TT on the slide 2D is held out of engagenient with the abutments 78 and T9. As soon as the required number ofthe similar prints is produced the hood 4 is moved over the plunger block Q5, the pins, 34 and 35 are freed and under the influence of their springs 423 and 44 snap into engagement with the lugs 36 so that the feed mechanism is immediately `thrown into action as soon as the roller reaches its end position.
